Today we celebrate and glorify Pedro II's overthrow in a military coup 129 years ago, marking our transformation into a banana republic. The strongman who led the coup is even in every 25 cent coin. 
As typical, Temer spoke about the virtues and strength of liberal democracy even though the Braganza were more liberally democratic than the following regimes.

Bolsonaro said he'd only act within the Constitution, but never told his supporters to go home nor dispelled claims by his entire activist ecosystem that there was any sort of military intervention in planning. He is, at the very least, morally responsible for what followed as a shepherd who neglected his flock.

The outskirts of military bases in Brasília were still full of frustrated hardliners who'd come from all around the country to rally around their leader. On January 8th they raided and vandalized the empty Congress and Supreme Court buildings. Lula was now vested in the moral authority to clamp down on bolsonarism as rightful self-defense of the State. Remaining bolsonarist encampments demobilized.
All of the January 8th demonstrators, Bolsonaro and several high-ranking officers were indicted for this "coup d'état", or to be more specific, for violently attempting to overthrow the rule of law and the legitimate government (articles 359-L and 359-M of the Criminal Code). Everything from the 2021 remarks against electronic voting machines until the January 8th chimpout was treated as one single attack against democracy.

This is where I speak of a miscarriage of justice. The January 8th vandals/demonstrators/terrorists were certainly wishing for a coup d'état, but no coup was possible from their acts. All they did was trespass and damage public property, which any rowdy demonstration does. They were possibly expecting the president to enforce a state of emergency, which would enable opportunistic military commanders to seize power. But that is at most an incitement to a coup, and in any case, none of that happened.
It takes a great deal of misunderstanding, even deliberate, to see it as a coup. It's like Curtis Yarvin described the logic behind the January 6th "insurrection" in the US:
https://graymirror.substack.com/p/the-great-coup-of-2021
> For example, let’s suppose (I am indebted for this analogy to some Twitter wag, whom I can’t find now) the US Constitution worked like the first-person shooter Halo. If you occupy the center of the Rotunda for more than 90 seconds, you become the Congress. You can pass laws and stuff. 
> In this world, occupying the Capitol is indeed a historic threat to the continuity of government. Anyone who makes it past the last bosses to the Rotunda, then can defend the space, has literally interrupted that continuity. In fact, once the circle in the floor turns green, and you can start to legislate, you have technically founded America’s Second Republic. (Or, arguably, like its sixth or something.)
> What about in real life? What happens in real life, when this happens? What happens is: a formal ceremony is delayed for a couple of hours. As if a water main had broken. In the worst-case scenario—they have to use another building. Or even—Zoom. (Maybe Zoom needs a special option that, instead of a room, starts a temple of democracy.)

And this was even less coup-like than January 6th 2021, which did happen when Trump was in power and could in theory do something about it. But the date similarity is deceptive. Lula was in office and Bolsonaro was thousands of kilometers from Brasília and completely powerless.

In one infamous case, a woman was sentenced on coup d'état charges for writing Perdeu, mané ("You lost, jackass") on lipstick over a statue in front of the Supreme Court building. The only weapon found in her possession was lipstick. For reference, Perdeu, mané was what one of the Supreme Court justices had answered to bolsonarists who bothered him over the election results when he was in New York. There's definitively an element of personal vendetta in this case and in the sentences in general. It's less about democracy and more about the physical sanctity of the State against the people.

What about Bolsonaro and his officers? The court was biased, but the weight of evidence suggests a similar sentence would be given by a better court. Perhaps major details were made up by self-serving witnesses.

According to witness testimony, secret meetings with military commanders discussed a state of emergency justified by a rigged vote and abusive courts. A decree was even drafted and at least one version is available online (https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/politica/confira-integra-da-minuta-golpista-apresentada-por-bolsonaro-a-freire-gomes/, https://www.conjur.com.br/dl/de/decreto-golpe.pdf)
The Navy's commander, admiral Garnier a sinister fellow when he's got his sunglasses, just look at him agreed with the plan but the Army and Air Force wanted nothing of it. This is also a self-serving story as these supposedly democratic anti-coup generals didn't lift a finger when thousands of demonstrators camped in front of their barracks to demand a coup.
Allegedly some special forces hardliners had a plot to murder Lula and Alexandre de Moraes and this operation was actually launched on December 15th but called off.

When I followed the news on late 2022, I knew there wouldn't be a coup because Bolsonaro is a pussy and the opposition was hysterical. But Bolsonaro's supporters openly calling for a coup for months on end is indeed strong evidence that he had something of the sort on his mind.

And how would this coup look like? The state of emergency draft decree is a nonstarter as it only allows action against the Superior Electoral Court. Nothing to deprive enemies in Congress, the media and state governments from reacting with their levers of power. And the Biden administration had already made clear it would oppose such a move. It'd be as much of a fiasco as the 2024 South Korean self-coup attempt, but with a chance of chaos and bloodshed if bolsonarist hardliners in the military chose to react on their own.

I think this coup narrative got fashionable at some point. Even here the opposition did a little fear mongering that Orbán might coup the election if the opposition wins. Wasn't a leading narrative but some put forward the idea. And then some was backwards surprised after the election that Orbán took it so calm and congratulated for the win. "Perhaps if he had only lost by a little". - As Bolsonaro did.
When claiming coup attempts become the fad, at what point? I'm not sure. But this era isn't the era of coups in the US client states. And for many coups and coup attempts outside support from the patron was necessary, which sometimes only was a nod and the acknowledgement of the new leaders to support their legitimacy. I think these days the US doesn't care much who is in government among her clients, since there is no real rival (yet) the US should worry about, like in the times of the commie-scare Cold War.

 >>/55353/
It sounds like everyone waited that the other does something. Like Bolsonaro didn't try to calm people and send them home in the hopes they do something more that he can ride in the end without looking like he was inciting things. And the people waited for the army to do something. And perhaps the army waited for encouragement from B.

He does remind me of someone. Perhaps Noriega for his size (but not really the looks). The famous sunglasses is Gaddhaffi perhaps, but then he was taller. And a hair less kept in order.

It has always been fashionable in Latin America. Dilma's camp unanimously calls her impeachment in 2016 a coup and even the previous impeached president in 1992 uttered the word. During the high Lula/Dilma years, activists called opposition media the "party of the coupist press" (partido da imprensa golpista). You could say there's prestige in being the victim of a coup.

I just realised something... something spooky as fuck.
 
You know how sumo is derived from some ancient rituals? How it was performed in shrines, to appease the kami, to ensure prosperity? It was only later professionalised, and is now performed on a national level by salaried wrestlers, but there are still many religious elements, from how the ring is consecrated by a priest before each tournament, yokozuna entering the ring with that big white rope around his belt, to wrestlers actually throwing salt into the ring before each bout as a means of consecration. It is a deeply religious ritual, somehow performed to appease the kami for the entire nation of Japan. Kinda like how the ancient Olympic Games were performed on temple grounds, and were a form of vitalist worship of Greek gods.
 
You know when's the last time sumo wasn't performed as scheduled? March 2011. The March of the earthquake and tsunami that rekt Japan. But guess what? The tournament was cancelled a month before. Because of some match-fixing scandal. Yep, that's right. And the earthquake happened 2 days before the tournament was scheduled.
 
The earthquake happened because the sumo ritual wasn't performed. Because the kami weren't appeased. They were pissed and caused the earthquake as a warning.

I hope Onosato comes back in good shape next basho, it's kinda weird not seeing him there. And maybe Aonishiki will do better next time too, with the way he scurried off after the last match that he was probably severely humbled when he lost to Hosh and was denied the Kachi Koshi.

 >>/55214/
Articles says he still suffers from the shoulder injury of late 2025. We could see it in January too. Wikipee says:
> dislocation of the left acromioclavicular joint
I'm not sure if he'll be able to fite in May. They might push it. I think Teru had to rassle in more serious condition. The problem I see is that Onosato is so young still. If he could recover he could be a fine yokozuna for a long time.

> Aonishiki
I do agree. I think this was a learning opportunity for him. I don't expect a yusho from him next tournament, but he will definitely prepare to be better rounded, and learn his opponents more.

Wew, Natsu Basho starts today. I was afraid I couldn't get source, but managed. Was a hard go.
So Slov, if you read this, sumo is on in the next 15 days at 18:30 CEST.
https://cytu.be/r/endcorner

I still yet to write an intro for this, what to expect whom to watch.
Ah I heard Aonishiki starts with kyujo on the first week, high chance he'll be kadoban.

At the top of the banzuke Onosato and Aonishiki will start kyujo. So the banzuke will be a bit lopsided with one yokozuna and two ozekis. But that's fine.
Atamifuji is sekiwake now, just as Kotoshoho who managed to pull a good basho last time again, after previous bad performances. I expect Tummy to keep his form and Kotoshoho to lose now.
Veterans Wkage and Takayas at komusubi.
Tiny Fujinowaka at M1. It will be hard for him, expecting losing some ranks after the basho. But it's okay, it is very good place for someone his size.
Yushinofuji at M2 and OHO at M3. I really hope the big lad will do well this time around.
Hakunofuji down at M10. Expecting better results now. Hoping problems are smoothed out with Teru.
Old man Tamawash'. Is he getting too old? Can he pull a better one now?
Towards the end of the banzuke it's Wakanosho and Fujiryoga whomster we should pay mind. Youngsters both, not without talent.

Juryo
Taker's recovery is a question. And there is his stable mate Toshinofuji. He did well last time.
And ENHO!!!!! At the very end at J14.

All right. That's about it me thinks.

A year passed and again this day commemorates the foundation of Hungary, this is 1018th birthday. We celebrate this national holiday with listening to politicians mixing irrelevant daily politics into historical events in the morning and watching fireworks in the evening. Budapesterners can witness the procession of state founder Saint Stephen's Holy Dexter. Also all the local communities have their own little celebrations.
This is the third time I make this thread, and I won't post much, maybe I'll post something about what happened today - if anything interesting - later.

About this time Kossuth came into the picture. He was again a deputy of some aristocrats in 1832, and to make a living he had an arrangement to make notes about the events of the legislative sessions and send them as letters to some subscribers for some fee. To a small circle of conspirators he offered he could make a handwritten journal and showed couple of his letters. The handwritten part was important since the censorship law regulated only the printed press, not the scribbled one. They found the idea splendid but weren't enthusiastic about the person of Kossuth due to some embezzlement scandal from his past.
Still he continued on writing and sending the letters. His style improved, and he tied his work to the fight for the freedom of press. He did not just gave reports on the speeches of politicians, but he added his own notes, gave description of the speakers, described their character, and he added his subjective political opinions too. He became an actual publicist and he got noted. He got criticized and applauded. People passed on his letters, sometimes they read it out loud for groups of listeners. Others copied his idea occasionally making reports of short events, and Kossuth also had a co-author for a while. His journal, titled as Országgyűlési Tudósítások (= Paeliamentery Reports) become the voice of the opposition. But the Court also noticed him and considered him among one of the most dangerous opponents.
How many read his work? Since people shared them, we can't know. However within months the number of subscribers grew to hundred. Since the fee was quite steep for that time, they could pay law students to make enough copies, again by hand. At least the first 68 issues. Then they bought a press machine, which worked well. For about two months then Kossuth was called upon to give the press to the authorities. At least they compensated them.
The work continued till 1836 May, when the Diet was dismissed.

Kossuth wasn't willing to lose the ear of the public. He moved on to writing reports on the assemblies of the counties. However the long arm of the Court reach after him. As the member of the Diet he enjoyed immunity from certain transgressions. His work got banned a couple of times, he still published them so they caught him and sentenced him for four years of prison in 1837.
Sometimes to reach the highest places, one has to go through the lowest ones.

picrel: this building is in the Castle of Buda, in it's yard was the prison where Kossuth was incarcerated.


 >>/55337/
I don't think so.
There was a certain loosening in censorship.
In the Habsburg's empire newspapers started to get founded in the late 18th century. That was the era of the so called enlightened absolutism. So censorship which was in the hand of the Catholic Church was taken over by the state, which meant centralization in the deployment, but religious considerations were taken out, they only cared about the order of the state.
From here there was a decentralization pull by local authorities. The Hungarian Diet also wanted the censorship in the hand of a Hungarian authority. Which actually happened by 1840. And as it stood the leader of the office responsible for censorship was a "slow-careful-progress" conservative, who himself had problems with censorship in his youth, so while he was a loyal bureaucrat, he wasn't a fanatic.
There was a pliable principle of "dangerous things have to be blocked" in the new regulation, which meant the censors had to decide themselves what was dangerous.
I'm gonna try to get this new regulation or at least find an article about this.

so im prolly preaching to the choir here, but kohl has been completely and totally overrun by pedos. i have reason to suspect that it is being done purposefully, either as a way to disrupt /int/, entrap unproxied/naive bernds who cant into clearing their cache, and plant CP in their temporary files, and/or to use /int/ as a wall of noise, and bernds themselves, as a way to distract from their own exchanging of such content. im leaning towards the last one tbh hence why the offer of simply making a new board dedicated to such content. i think these bernds with nothing to hide, and no threat model nor intention of viewing such degeneracy, are at risk. i believe this is being cultivated purposefully so as to surround their gaggle of degenerates with low-hanging fruit who may be stupid enough to accidentally click on something, or unaware that when viewing a page with a bunch of thumbnails of child models, all those thumbnails get downloaded by your browser.

i gave a reasonable list of demands that i feel are not too extreme, and limit no ones free speech other than the freedom to endanger naive bernds and plant CP on their computers unknowingly and even gave a provision where proxies/tor are not to be banned, but it was not enough. the mods are 100% complicit in it, and allow it, and worse, encourage it. they feel that pedoposting improves the quality of the board via keeping keins and ledditors out. they feel that removing suggestively posed, scantily clad children pics means turning the joint into a reddit-tier hugbox but again, i suspect their motives are more that of self preservation, as even the most unaware of bernds has heard that kohl is run by pedos. this, even though such innocent content like candydoll webms is certainly enough for some bernd in a more conservative cunt to be fucked over hard and have his life ruined if found in his cache

ive been quietly harboring suspicions of this sort of activity for a while, but have been biting my tongue so as to not cause another mass exodus over nothing. but this is not nothing. these fucks are doing this intentionally and at this point, im certain of it. in the past few days, i heard enough other bernds exclaim similar theories about how kohl is nothing more than a fed honeypot even that dergeneral was forced to 86 the old kc serb in order to cause an exodus to a more thoroughly controlled new site, or that the owners have been co-opted/blackmailed into setting one up, and also that the use of a, now fast-moving, /int/ is being used to cover for their smut dealings.

even when asking the mods to be transparent and make a clear definitive statement on their personal moderative tendencies on such content, and to post this warning on /int/ and warn these naive bernds of the risk they face by posting there, ive been met with deflectionary responses, and weak-ass limp-dicked argumentative tactics to which i am utterly immune, as well as a distinct lack of action. they want this, and it couldnt be more clear. but worse, they want the deception. as such, i suspect foul play of some sort
idk, im really worried about the safety of the dozens of bernds who post there on a daily basis without proxy, and without clearing their caches constantly. i love all you guys a whole lot and id hate to see anyones lives get fuckt because some random pedonigger had to bump his shitty thread full of candydoll webms and pics of naked preteens to the first page, and some poor sap who didnt know any better refreshed the first page while it happened. ive seen this tactic used on other imageboards countless times and against countless communities, and with all the commotion, i felt the need to speak up about it.

I don't really got the impression Bernd there is the type who could make one.
Tho one dedicated editor could shill it regularly to remind Bernds to send articles in.
